Why Chris Christie should not run -- the media just want someone else to tear down

Chris Christie is coming under intense pressure to throw his hat in the ring for the 2012 presidential race.

The New York Times is reporting that a high- level gathering of Christie aides are meeting this weekend to plan a strategy.

The Times reports that those pushing Christie to run include the media mogul Rupert Murdoch, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Nancy Reagan and the conservative columnist William Kristol.

To which I say don't run Chris.

Like all the other candidates before like Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry in particular, the media is trying to lure you in in order to start tearing you down.

The media has the attention span of a nano-second and with Perry foundering they are distraught at the idea that they will spend the next year covering the bland Romney and the buttoned down version of Obama.
